• 0:12
  genuine. Issues.
• 0:13
  Brought to you by The Hypnotherapist, demanded by
• 0:16
  celebrities CE OS and even royalty Adam Cox, these
• 0:21
  recordings took place live from Evans Clinic in London's world
• 0:24
  famous Harley Street. So get yourself comfortable and
• 0:31
  enjoy today's episode of The Hypnotist.
• 0:40
  Now, I don't know if you are an investor or a trader, but if you
• 0:45
  are, you will appreciate how important managing your emotions
• 0:49
  are when it comes to being a good trader and a good investor.
• 0:53
  In fact, fear, fear and greed are two of the strongest
• 0:57
  emotions that you can get. But they're not the only
• 0:59
  emotions. You can have anger, you can have
• 1:02
  frustration, you can have impatience.
• 1:04
  And I was working with a client that would revenge trade.
• 1:09
  Revenge trade is kind of chasing your losses.
• 1:12
  It's losing a trade and then trying to make that back
• 1:15
  quickly. And the problem with that is
• 1:18
  that quite often it leads to inferior decision making and
• 1:23
  throwing out a proven strategy. And that was the case with the
• 1:27
  client that I was working with. They had a strategy that if they
• 1:30
  followed it diligently would make profit 70% of the time.
• 1:34
  But if they revenge trade and did the emotional trading, they
• 1:38
  would place bigger bets and they would have a lower quality
• 1:43
  criteria to make trades and that would only make profit 30% of
• 1:47
  the time. So this uses the.
• 1:49
  Analogy of. It being a test of their
• 1:52
  resolve, like how capable are they of being unshakeable in the
• 1:56
  sense of these things that could rattle other people and to not
• 2:01
  fall into the trap of being baited to become a gambler when
• 2:04
  really what they wanted to be was an analytical trader.
• 2:07
  And they could really take pride in being this analytical trader.
• 2:11
  So this may be a bit too specialist if you don't invest
• 2:16
  or you're not a trader. I love investing.
• 2:17
  I love particularly active trading where I'm setting like
• 2:21
  buy order, sell orders, you know, checking my positions.
• 2:26
  Not everyone is like this, but the client that I was working
• 2:28
  with, they, they did what I do, but they do it on a daily basis.
• 2:32
  They're trying to make profit every single day.
• 2:34
  I'm a more long term investor, but the psychology is still the
• 2:38
  same. It's about effectively making a
• 2:41
  trade, mitigating risk, making good decisions and following
• 2:45
  your thesis, following your strategy and trying to avoid
• 2:48
  those kind of overly emotional, intuitive responses.
• 2:51
  So if this resonates, you'll get some value from this session.
• 2:55
  And if it doesn't and you want something a bit more bespoke for
• 2:57
  you, have a look at the link in the description and schedule A
• 3:00
  free consultation call with me. For now though, find a quiet,
• 3:03
  comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
• 3:05
  Relax and enjoy the session. And I wonder if you could
• 3:15
  breathe in even deeper than you normally would, really feeling
• 3:23
  your diaphragm and chest expand. And as you exhale, just imagine
• 3:33
  elongating that outward breath so it enables you to drift
• 3:41
  deeper and further and more relaxed.
• 3:47
  And as your body relaxes, your imagination awakens.
• 3:55
  And I want you to imagine what it would be like to be walking
• 4:01
  on the coast. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 4:07
  the calm ocean. And I want you to imagine
• 4:13
  thinking that if you had a small boat, it is completely safe and
• 4:21
  enjoyable to take that small boat out on the ocean when the
• 4:31
  seas are calm and the weather is good.
• 4:38
  But then imagine the clouds turning grey.
• 4:44
  I want you to imagine winds, storms, and I want you to
• 4:52
  imagine seeing those waves high, strong, volatile.
• 5:00
  I don't want you to get the feeling then what is a great
• 5:06
  decision when the waves are calm becomes a reckless decision to
• 5:16
  take the boat out onto the ocean when the waves are strong and
• 5:25
  intense and unpredictable. And I want you to get a feeling
• 5:33
  that sometimes your emotions feel like the volatile waves.
• 5:43
  And in the same way that it wouldn't make sense to take a
• 5:45
  boat out onto the ocean until the waves have calmed down, I
• 5:52
  want you to feel that you are planting a seed of an idea that
• 5:59
  to be a stoic, analytical trader, it's.
• 6:06
  Important not to. Trade during an emotional storm.
• 6:14
  And I want you to get a feeling that you're planting that seed
• 6:17
  of an idea that if you are feeling emotional, the strategy
• 6:25
  is not to take the boat out onto the waves, but to allow time for
• 6:32
  the waves to calm back down again.
• 6:37
  And now imagine the waves doing that.
• 6:41
  Calm, smooth waves, sunny weather and blue skies.
• 6:48
  And now it becomes a perfect time to take that small boat
• 6:52
  back out onto the waves. I want you to get a feeling what
• 6:58
  is a great decision can also be a horrible decision even though
• 7:10
  the ocean is exactly the same. I want you to feel it's the
• 7:15
  conditions that can make it good or bad, but also the size of
• 7:23
  your boat. I want you to get a feeling that
• 7:30
  you're now there, perhaps closer to the ocean, seeing the calm,
• 7:36
  gentle waves. Imagine hearing those waves and
• 7:44
  I want you to feel that your body is getting deeper and
• 7:48
  deeper, relaxed. And then imagine seeing a door
• 7:54
  just there by the ocean, but not connected to a building.
• 8:01
  Maybe a wooden door, A metal door.
• 8:05
  Imagine the frame. Imagine the door and the handle.
• 8:13
  And it's weird because it shouldn't even be standing up
• 8:17
  straight. And it dawns on you.
• 8:20
  This is a portal. A portal that will take you to
• 8:23
  your own private cinema to give you a new perspective on a
• 8:31
  useful change that would be good to make.
• 8:35
  As I count, from 5:00 to 1:00, you will imagine standing in
• 8:40
  front of that door, opening the door, walking through the door
• 8:45
  and walking into your very own private cinema. 5 putting your
• 8:54
  hand on the handle, 4 turning the handle, 3 opening the door,
• 9:00
  2 walking through the door, and one closing the door behind you
• 9:07
  as you now found yourself no longer by the ocean, but in your
• 9:13
  own private cinema. No one else is there, and I want
• 9:19
  you to find the most comfortable seat with the perfect view of
• 9:22
  the screen. And I want you to imagine seeing
• 9:28
  yourself there on that screen, the last time you felt on tilt,
• 9:38
  triggered, angry, perhaps because a trade didn't go your
• 9:44
  way. But you're not in your body.
• 9:50
  You're just the observer. And I wonder if you could see
• 9:54
  yourself on that screen evaluating something that didn't
• 10:00
  seem fair, right? It was unjust in some way.
• 10:04
  And maybe you can tell from your facial expression or your
• 10:09
  posture or the tension in your body that you were emotionally
• 10:15
  affected by that outcome. And then see that version of you
• 10:24
  triggered by that trade, revenge trading.
• 10:30
  See that version of you lowering standards and increasing bed
• 10:37
  sizes? That version of you is trying to
• 10:43
  do what every form of revenge does that vigilante justice to
• 10:51
  right or wrong. But I want you to see, because
• 10:57
  you've increased your risk and reduce your standards, See that
• 11:03
  version of you deviating from your strategy.
• 11:08
  And I want you to see that person on screen shifting from
• 11:14
  being an analytical trader to a reckless gambler, perhaps within
• 11:22
  minutes. And I want you to see that
• 11:26
  version of you increasing the frequency of your trades,
• 11:34
  avoiding that discerning setup, impulsively trading, taking more
• 11:45
  risk. And if you can see that that
• 11:49
  version of you is decreasing your probability of success
• 11:56
  through that revenge trading, let me know by nodding your
• 11:59
  head. That's in.
• 12:06
  And I want you to imagine rewinding that very same thing
• 12:12
  and pausing it. But before we go back to that
• 12:17
  version of you, I want you to imagine you see someone else on
• 12:21
  that screen, someone that you consider to be an unshakable
• 12:28
  traitor. The chaos can happen.
• 12:34
  Something unjust, unfair, and nothing would make them deviate
• 12:41
  from their system, their strategy.
• 12:47
  And once you see that version of that person, that unshakeable
• 12:52
  person, I want you to imagine putting them on the receiving
• 12:57
  end of that same trade that triggered you.
• 13:01
  And maybe you can tell from their face.
• 13:07
  Then they've also evaluated the loss, the unfairness, but
• 13:14
  they're not triggered by it. Maybe you see them ambivalent,
• 13:20
  unbothered, unfazed, or maybe stoic.
• 13:27
  They accept the outcome happened that they didn't want, but that
• 13:34
  doesn't mean they're going to lose their cool.
• 13:39
  So imagine that unshakable trader in the same situation
• 13:43
  that you found yourself triggered.
• 13:47
  And if you feel that they're responding to it in a way that
• 13:52
  would be more useful for you, let me know by nodding your
• 13:54
  head. And I want you to see that
• 14:02
  version of them taking it on the chin saying it's just the 30%
• 14:10
  that doesn't work out. No anger, no rage, no
• 14:15
  frustration, no annoyance. They treat it like the same way
• 14:22
  that someone would treat a bug hitting the front of a
• 14:28
  windscreen. Not even enough to stop the car.
• 14:38
  I want you to feel that when these trades don't go your way,
• 14:42
  you evaluate your process. If the process was the right
• 14:48
  process, then you can feel happy even if the outcome wasn't that
• 14:57
  which you desired. I want you to feel empowered
• 15:05
  that actually these unfair things are tests and traps.
• 15:15
  Test to test your emotional strength, to be unshakeable when
• 15:22
  it matters. But the trap is that it baits
• 15:27
  you to deviate from your strategy.
• 15:32
  The market wants you to go on full tilt to get emotional, to
• 15:38
  revenge trade, because when it does, the triggered person's
• 15:46
  money ends up flowing to the unshakeable person.
• 15:56
  I want you to imagine going back to that version of you that you
• 16:01
  rewind it to the beginning. This time see a version of you
• 16:09
  that has the same facial expression, that same
• 16:13
  unshakeable quality of that trader that would never take the
• 16:20
  bait. Imagine seeing the same thing
• 16:23
  happen and then try out two different scenarios.
• 16:31
  The first is that you see yourself looking angry or
• 16:34
  annoyed, but instead of revenge trading, see that version of you
• 16:41
  go for a walk, have a short workout or maybe skip for 5
• 16:49
  minutes or use the punch bag and when you return, see that
• 16:55
  version of you almost like the ocean that was volatile and then
• 17:03
  found its calm. Or perhaps you can see yourself
• 17:14
  unflappable, unfazed. See that version of you where
• 17:19
  these things that triggered you in the past no longer do
• 17:23
  anymore? That you can consider it an
• 17:32
  ingredient into the same cake that if you have a 70% win rate,
• 17:41
  then you will lose 30% of the time.
• 17:45
  And that's OK. And sometimes that will feel
• 17:49
  fair and sometimes it will feel unfair.
• 17:55
  But you can put it in the same bucket of just being that 30% or
• 18:02
  it doesn't go your way in order for you to be rewarded for the
• 18:08
  70% of the time when it does. Because the alternative is that
• 18:17
  it baits you into becoming reckless, emotional and like a
• 18:23
  gambler. But I want you to see a version
• 18:28
  of you that can see the bait but doesn't take it, like an
• 18:35
  intelligent mouse seeing the cheese in the trap and deciding
• 18:39
  that that cheese is not valuable enough for the risk that it
• 18:45
  carries. And I want you to feel that the
• 18:50
  idea of instinctively revenge trading is like that cheese in
• 18:57
  that trap. It seems appealing, but it comes
• 19:01
  at a cost. And that cost is then you're
• 19:06
  willing to give away a 70% strategy in order to use a 30%
• 19:15
  strategy. And I want you to imagine,
• 19:23
  imagine another case where you're willing to give someone
• 19:29
  money where it makes no logical sense just because you're
• 19:33
  emotional. I want you to imagine having a
• 19:39
  bad meal because you had that bad meal straight away.
• 19:47
  You bought a worse meal and then ate the worst meal immediately
• 19:52
  afterwards. And that doesn't make sense when
• 19:57
  it comes to food, and it doesn't make sense when it comes to
• 20:01
  trading either. I want you to see that version
• 20:06
  of you on the screen, immune and unshakeable.
• 20:13
  Nothing will make you take the bait of that revenge trade.
• 20:18
  You either carry on, or you allow yourself to dissipate any
• 20:26
  emotions and let everything calm down.
• 20:31
  And just like that Professional Golf player or poker player,
• 20:39
  they don't let one bad hand or hole creep into the next one.
• 20:46
  And when you found the scenario that feels good for you, that it
• 20:56
  would work, that even if something unfair happens, you
• 21:01
  wouldn't take the bait. Just see that version of you on
• 21:04
  that cinema screen, Rewind it, step into the screen and imagine
• 21:10
  yourself a week from now. Something happens similar.
• 21:17
  Neither the thing doesn't bother you anymore, or if it does it's
• 21:25
  a reminder to do something to calm your waves.
• 21:33
  And maybe you decide to have a rule in the same way that the
• 21:41
  boat owner by the sea would say I will never go into the water
• 21:51
  if there is a storm in the sea. And maybe you have a rule,
• 21:58
  something you add to your strategy to make you truly that
• 22:03
  analytical trader, that if you are too emotional, you don't
• 22:10
  trade. And only when you feel stoic and
• 22:16
  centered, rational and analytical, then you make that
• 22:23
  trade. And if your unconscious agrees,
• 22:27
  let me know by nodding your head.
• 22:31
  And I want you to imagine the worst thing that's ever happened
• 22:36
  in a trade happening in that moment and still feel immune to
• 22:41
  taking that bait. These things are either tests to
• 22:51
  test your resilience and your resolve, or a trap to bait you
• 22:57
  into becoming a gambler. And from this point onwards,
• 23:02
  each time you see those things that triggered you in the past,
• 23:08
  you will either pass the test or refuse to take the bait.
• 23:15
  And in doing so, you become even more of that wise, calm, stoic,
• 23:28
  rational, analytical trader that you are at your core.
• 23:37
  No situation will bait you to becoming a gambler.
• 23:44
  And then imagine leaving that screen, seeing yourself on the
• 23:47
  screen looking unshakeable. I want you to see yourself
• 23:53
  looking more unshakeable than that other person that you
• 23:58
  considered unshakeable and accept this is your compelling
• 24:08
  vision of the future. And every trigger is an
• 24:15
  opportunity to either become this unshakeable analytical
• 24:23
  trader or to allow your emotions to win and become the gambler.
• 24:31
  And whichever version of you you reward more is the one you will
• 24:41
  get more of. But you know who you want to be,
• 24:49
  and that intention is already helping to lay the new neural
• 24:57
  pathways to create that possibility.
• 25:03
  Soon as you leave that cinema, take this unshakable analytical
• 25:10
  trader with you. You're almost looking forward to
• 25:14
  previous triggers so that you can hardwire this identity in,
• 25:23
  because you can only feel unshakable if something tries to
• 25:28
  shake you. You can only refuse to take the
• 25:33
  bait if you're baited into that emotional version of you.
• 25:44
  So as you leave the cinema, find yourself back out there on the
• 25:47
  shore, the feeling of shift has taken place.
• 25:53
  Feeling a sense of resolve, feeling a sense of empowerment,
• 26:00
  looking forward to being tested. And now it's time to float all
• 26:06
  the way back to your present, taking these changes with you.
• 26:10
  So take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your
• 26:15
  nose. Just wiggle your fingers and
• 26:18
  wiggle your toes. Connect and calibrate into the
• 26:20
  here and the now as I now count from 1:00 to 10:00 to awaken
• 26:26
  you. Starting to count 123 waking up
• 26:33
  456 more alert 7-8. Open your eyes.
• 26:37
  Open your eyes 910. Wide awake.
• 26:41
  Wide awake. Wide awake.
